Running Mark on a cloud hosted VM

[outboard]

I ran a search on this site and could find no information on this topic... I have a substantial data set stored on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). While I can download the data and run Mark/RMark locally, I'm interested in running it on a GCP virtual machine as this would mitigate a rather complicated workflow and speed up processing. The general thought being: run an instance of R on the VM and analyze data using the `rmark` package.
* Is this an acceptable use (ie license compliant) of Mark and are there any limitations here (#cores etc)
* If allowable, has anyone had any experience actually doing so.
Thanks!

No licensing restrictions to speak of. The challenge will be setting directory paths correctly (MARK might barf on those), and getting the temp files written out correctly, to a place they can be written. MARK normally puts the temp files it generates in the same directory where the .inp file sits.

No license restrictions is good, vomiting on filepaths - not so much. Thanks for the information. If no one is doing this there is probably a good reason. Well, I'll dive in and see, however, will likely wind up in over my head pretty quick. Dont cost nothin to try though...
